Airenal's Lance update??????? Can my non-Rangers finally use it again? Pls gib it non-ranged options :D

But also that means the armor will probably be updated to the new lean system and gonna get nerfed in terms of it's ele-comp :(

Chessmaster Finale LET'S GOOOOOOOO! So excited for this saga to conclude. I remember the forums speculating about the numbered beasts and to see a storyline tackle them was amazing.

I wonder how the chosen will react to Karuna being the Chessmaster. Also isn't the newsletter a huge spoiler?

I guess they like the Lance-a-lot so that's why they're gonna make it extra lancy

 Awesome updates. Finally we can wrap this up and focus on other loose ends.

Curious to see how they'll revamp Lord of the Skies. It is acknowledged that it receives far too much eleComp, but giving it a pure ranged mode might make for a new interesting dynamic in the way that we have seen other armors recently have "ranged attack forms". Though that being said it's rather unfortunate that most of these types of ranger focus armors are either un-obtainable, premium or both.

Also, nice that we have a gold/exp boost, although it doesn't seem like it'll be for long. I really wish we had more gold/exp boosts scattered throughout the year. IIRC this is the first one we've had since May 2020. Maybe now would maybe even be the time to bring up the supposed update to gold/exp earning/caps. Earning is actually rather difficult outside of farming methods.

 Given that seasonal quests don't go rare anymore, any of them being unobtainable would be a major issue in need of fixing. Which Ranger armors are missing?

 @Cray: For clarification, when I say unobtainable I mean cannot be gotten unconditionally. As in if I cannot get it right now without condition (seasonality/event window, premium, etc) . Most of the recent ranger armors are indeed accessible through portals and I know about the "new policy" of no longer making hard promises of unobtainability (though this doesn't actually preclude a pocket veto by the fine-print language), but I cannot get them right now without portals (though thankfully, I do have them but if I didn't...). I'm not going to re-ignite the argument because this is more or less a fundamental disagreement which cannot be resolved, but the recently-encouraged ranger build has accessibility problems to the build. When filling your inventory for these new ranger-type armors, it is either dependent on having the portals or being present at the right time. And that will make it much more difficult to fill for than the other orthodox builds that exist in the game right now.

 I'm no more fond of any form of quest rarity than anyone, but fundamental disagreements will continue to arise when introducing alternative personal definitions. That being said, I'm certain that we can endeavor to continue to improve communication on our end to prevent other misunderstandings. Painting descriptions could perhaps more clearly note the nature of their availability.

Would it be possible to adjust it 2 days longer from 5 days to 7 days?

So from 3PM EST Thursday, May 26th and the special offer ends 11:59PM EST on Thursday, June 2nd?

Thanks in advance.

Otherwise, thanks anyway for the 5 days of Memorial Holiday Boosts and House Guard Sale.

Would it be possible to just buy the LotS armor from the token shop? I know lots of people bought the package just for the armor so it would be nice to have that option.

 Thanks for the extension on the Gold/EXP Boost! Also interesting that it also increases the daily caps as well. I'd already farmed today thinking that I wasn't going to be able to cash in today but I tried it out anyways and found myself being able to get that little extra. It seems that this works multiplicatively of your other source of boosts. In my case with my setup of X-Guardian (1.1x), 8x Spirits (1.95x), Hidden Power of Gold (1.05x) AND this Memorial day Boost (1.25x) I have a cap percentage of 2.5599x, or rounded 2.56x (X-Guard already factored in). Or in hard number terms 271,613,185 gold. That's pretty insane. We should probably probably make these all additive instead to encourage people to use these items all year around instead of during boosted events when they are the most effective.

@battlesiege: Interesting point to raise. I think that's generally true for most of the packages in general. People generally think of the tokens secondary to the items. I think that kind of suggestion then opens the door because it's well known that some packages are generally viewed as "not worth it" for the amount you need to pay to get them.

Also just an interesting note, that bug with the Gold Caps only seems to work when you are using the Hidden Power of Gold. Maybe if that bug is still being looked at perhaps that might be a good start to diagnose the problem and fix it.



Side note: Can you guys also fix the text/aspect ratio bugs? I don't know why but ever since awhile ago text boxes and dialogues have become neigh illegible. Since this is a Z-package item and we need to look through this interface fixing the bubble/button text will be a huge relief. Sometimes when buying packages I can't even see which button is for which shop because of this. I'm pretty sure likewise whatever the solution this is it'll fix this for the whole game because the whole game is affected by this.

Also a question: Is the Memorial Shield going to be a permanent addition? I thought we had the LTS shop so that all themed and seasonal content would be restricted there?

Oh sorry,when I meant the "token shop" I meant the Ballyhoo Rewards shop for the token pacakges, not like the Z-token shop.

Is the bloodthorn package being updated like airenal or just being brought back as it was when it first released?

 Yes, the Bloodthorn package is also being updated. That package was pretty ancient, back from the days we could only have 1 package bonus live at a time.

I think a more puzzling ommision is the Frigid Bard of War. Undead Bard of War had a rarity time table set for it already, it's less that it's missing and more that it's confirmed to be gone until 2024.
But as far as I know, Frigid Bard of War doesn't have such a restriction. And unlike Undead Bard of War, which has Necromancer to cover it, Frigid Bard of War is an element for FD that's solely covered by Subrace Armors, it's actually the most valuable Bard of War armor because of this.

Wow!

The new Airenal is really good! Defensive Modifiers are solid :)

Just 2 requests to @Hollow and @IMR:


a) Could you rename the 2nd Skill to something else, like "Wind Storm" or "Slipstream", instead of just Cyclone Blast and Whirlwind Blast?

b) Could you also please give a slightly different animation for the 2nd (stronger) skill? Maybe make the color of the winds darker (to show more power, etc) or you could use any of the existing "wind" skills that various NPCs in the game already use. For example, the Troglodyte's SP skill. Both skills looking identical takes away the charm :(


Cheers!
